West Ham have made an offer for Saint-Etienne full back Kévin Malcuit, along with newly-promoted Newcastle United.
According to FranceFootball, both clubs have made offers for Malcuit ahead of a potential summer switch to the Premier League.
The report claims that the two clubs have made approaches for the Frenchman, who is in his second season at Etienne.
It is said that offers for Malcuit have ranged from €8-10m, although it is not confirmed whether Saint-Etienne are willing to part with him for those fees.
Malcuit has played 20 times at right-back this season, with a few appearances across the board when needed – in midfield and on the wing.
West Ham have struggled with the right-back slot this season, so bringing in Malcuit would suit a purpose as they look to improve their squad over the summer.
The 25-year-old joined Etienne in 2015 for €800k from Chamois Niortais. He is yet to score for his current club.
